Hey TH community. This is my first post on Tom's, so please bare with me. I'm new.
So I got this new laptop at a flea market. Now I know that's pretty unreliable, but I do know enough about what's good, what's bad, and what's great. I got this laptop for the price of $120, so it was worth it. To separate this from the other model, this has an i3 Sandy Bridge processor. I've done enough research to know that it's upgradable. I've also taken it apart to clean the fan and heatsink, so I was sure it was removable.
Anyway, the question was, I wanted to know what processors I can use? I believe there are a couple i5 CPUs that are pretty much at par with this one. Has anyone upgraded this specific laptop model? The RC512 S02 is considered the gaming model with an i7, but I'm not sure if they're using the exact same motherboard. If so, can't I just get the 2630QM CPU?
Thank you.
